KUSA - It's not unusual for little boys to have vivid imaginations, but Ryan's stories were truly legendary.
His
mother Cyndi said it all began with horrible nightmares when he was 4
years old. Then when he was 5 years old, he confided in her one evening
before bed.
"He said mom, I have something I need to tell you," she told TODAY. "I used to be somebody else."
The
preschooler would then talk about "going home" to Hollywood, and would
cry for his mother to take him there. His mother said he would tell
stories about meeting stars like Rita Hayworth, traveling overseas on
lavish vacations, dancing on Broadway, and working for an agency where
people would change their names.
She said her son even recalled that the street he lived on had the word "rock" in it.
"His stories were so detailed and they were so extensive, that it just wasn't like a child could have made it up," she said.
Cyndi
said she was raised Baptist and had never really thought about
reincarnation. So she decided to keep her son's "memories" a secret—
even from her own husband.
Privately, she checked out books about
Hollywood from the local library, hoping something inside would help her
son make sense of his strange memories and help her son cope with his
sometimes troubling "memories."
"Then we found the picture, and it changed everything," she said.
That
photo, in one of the books from the library, was a publicity shot from
the 1932 movie "Night After Night," starring Mae West in her film debut.
"She turns to the page in the book, and I say 'that's me, that's who I was,' Ryan remembers. Read More

Return to Life: For more than a decade, Jim Tucker has traveled the country meeting
families, hearing stories like these, and trying to determine if the
children’s memories are valid. Continuing a fifty-year research project
at the University of Virginia involving children from all over the
world, he decided to focus on cases in the United States, where parents
would not expect their children to say such things. A first-person account of his experiences with a number of extraordinary children, Return to Life
follows Dr. Tucker on his investigations. Readers see him taking a
young boy and his mother to a remote island the boy has talked about
repeatedly, working to identify a man in a photograph whom a little boy
says he used to be, and meeting a young golfing prodigy who has said he
was the famous golfer, Bobby Jones. One little girl talks about a great
fire; another recalls walking along a dusty road before being kidnapped
by two men in a car. By the end of Return to Life,
readers will conclude that Dr. Tucker has amassed persuasive evidence
that some children do possess actual memories of previous lives. He then
puts the cases in the context of current scientific understandings and
concludes with his vision about what the cases say about the question of
life after death for all of us. Read More

[Science Times] A senior scientist at NASA has recently presaged that California has
enough water to serve its citizens for only one more year. What NASA Says?
There are several reasons behind this brisk depletion of water
supply. Famiglietti, an expert water management scientist working at Jet
Propulsion Laboratory of NASA, has expressed his thoughts in LA Times's editorial column published in the previous week.
In this column, Famiglietti speaks about the existing water levels of
California and highlights the contribution of populace into water
management.
According to Famiglietti, California should create strategic plans
for unforeseen events so as to build power to fight against unrelenting
droughts similar to this one. It is completely futile to stay in such
disaster situations. No preset paddles are available to find a way
through this crisis. The water management of the state is multifaceted
and a bit complicated; however the expertise and recent trends in
technology exist to win over this traumatic future.
Since 2002, prior to the draught commenced, California has constantly
shown a stable declination in its water storage. Scientists at NASA are
testing the role of climate into this drought. They strongly believe
that the climate changes can pull a drought like situation. A recent
experiment carried out by Stanford Researchers proved that soaring
temperature increases the possibility of droughts.Advice to Public:
At last, Famiglietti provides a warm advice to the citizens of
California that they should preserve water to prevent the biggest
drought ahead. A team of state's leading water management specialists
should be created. This team should be free from the agencies and
private organizations.
This team should sketch some long-lasting and enduring plans to fight
against water scarcity like issues. A "Mega-Drought" which is supposed
to continue for up to 35 years can be defeated through proper management
of current resources of water.

Two vast underground domes are buried under central Australia that
researchers have realized are the scars of the biggest and most powerful
asteroid impact yet found on Earth. They appear to have been caused by a
massive asteroid that broke in two, serving our planet and all life on
it with a devastatingly powerful double-punch.
Embedded in the crust 30 kilometers (19 miles) deep, in rock
that is 300-600 million years old, the double impact crater has long
gone, buried by geological processes, but its imprint in Earth’s crust
remains. It covers a vast impact zone some 400 kilometers (250 miles)
wide in the Warburton Basin in Central Australia.
“The two asteroids must each have been over 10 kilometers (6.2
miles) across — it would have been curtains for many life species on the
planet at the time,” said Andrew Glikson from the Australian National
University’s School of Archaeology and Anthropology.
Compared with the famous Chicxulub crater under the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, which is famous for causing the extinction of the dinosaurs
some 66 million years ago, this Australian impact zone is a monster.
The Chicxulub crater is 180 kilometers (110 miles) in diameter and was
caused by a single 10 kilometer-wide asteroid; the Warburton Basin
impact zone is over twice that size, caused by two Chicxulub-sized impactors.
The discovery came when a geothermal research project drilled
out rock from South Australia and the Northern Territory that had been
turned to glass; a tell-tale sign that an ancient impact had delivered a
very energetic blow. But only on further investigation did Glikson’s
team realize the extent of the the impact.
Magnetic modeling of the crust throughout the region revealed
bulges, rich in iron and magnesium, pushing upward into the Earth’s
crust. These bulges originated from the Earth’s mantle — the thick layer
of rock that separates the core from the crust — acting as ancient
bruises left over by the cataclysmic impacts. Read More

[Huffington Post]
We all need help maintaining our personal spiritual practice. We hope that these Daily Meditations, prayers and mindful awareness exercises can be part of bringing spirituality alive in your life.
Today's meditation features a video of Benedictine monks singing a Gregorian chant. As the notes stream through your consciousness, feel the freedom of expresing yourself spiritually and mystically in new ways.

[MNN] The Anthropocene Era refers to the period of time humans have had a measurable global impact on Earth's ecosystems.
Though it's clear we're currently living in it, scientists have long
debated when exactly this epoch of human dominance over the planet first
began.

Did it start with the advent of agriculture around 10,000 years
ago? With the Industrial Revolution? With the first explosions of
nuclear weapons in the 1940s? As it turns out, new data suggests it may
have actually started in the year 1610.

What happened in 1610 that made it such a tipping point for
humanity's impact on Earth? According to Simon Lewis, an ecologist at
University College London, and geologist Mark Maslin of Leeds
University, a "golden spike" can be seen in the global geological record
in this year — a threshold, if you will — which can be directly
attributed to humans, reports the Independent.

Two global signatures appear in 1610: Pollen from imported New
World crops begins to appear in Europe, and a massive dip in carbon
dioxide levels can be seen in Antarctic ice cores dating to that time.
Both of these events are a direct result of increased trade and
transport of animals and plants across the Atlantic Ocean — a barrier
which had previously kept the New and Old Worlds separated for millions
of years.

In the case of the global dip in carbon dioxide, Lewis and Maslin
believe this to be the result of the deaths of millions of indigenous
people in the aftermath of European colonization. As many as 50 million
Native Americans died in the aftermath of European expansion into the
New World, mostly as a result of infectious diseases such as smallpox.
As their numbers dwindled, the resultant loss in agriculture allowed for
forests to re-grow throughout the Americas. These expanded forests
scrubbed the atmosphere of carbon dioxide. Read More

[Medical Daily] If the expression “history repeats itself” holds any truth, then
Earth is due for a pole reversal any day now, with a recent report
suggesting it may occur in our lifetime.
Pole reversals are natural and in reality a far cry from what’s
depicted in natural disaster films. However, when the poles do change
again it’ll be rather hard to miss. Here’s what to expect if you get to
witness our next polar flip.

Santa May Be In Need Of An Address Change

In a nutshell, the core of the Earth is basically a giant magnet, and
every few hundreds of thousands of years the South Pole becomes the
North Pole and vice versa. This flip does not mean that the planet
necessarily turns topsy-turvy, but rather that the invisible magnetic
field surrounding Earth changes direction, causing your compass to point
south rather than north. The pole change will have the biggest effect on our power grids and communication systems, but researchers predict that the human body may experience some of the effects of the reverse as well.
The Earth’s magnetic field takes between 1,000 and 10,000 years to reverse, LiveScience reported.
However, it’s during this transition period that humans will be
subjected to the most noticeable changes. Some will be harmless (and
amazing) such as the aurora borealis being visible in Hawaii and
Venezuela rather than the Arctic and Alaska, as reported by The Huffington Post. Others will be slightly less pleasant.
"The most dramatic changes that occur when the poles reverse is a
very large decrease of the total field intensity," said Jean-Pierre
Valet, who conducts research on geomagnetic reversals at the Institute
of Earth Physics of Paris, LiveScience reported.
As the poles slowly flip, the magnetic field begins to progressively
lose its strength. Although the Earth is also protected by the
atmosphere, with a weakened magnetic field the planet will be slightly
more susceptible to blasts of radiation from the sun. Coronal mass
ejections (CME) occur occasionally toward the direction of the Earth,
and changing poles may increase their effect on our planet.
"Some of the particles associated with CMEs can be blocked by Earth's
magnetic field. With a weak field, this shielding is less efficient,"
John Tarduno, professor of geophysics at the University of Rochester
told LiveScience.
Without the magnetic field, more particles would be able to penetrate
the Earth’s atmosphere, causing holes in the ozone layer. These holes
in the ozone layer would be temporary, but during this time humans would
be at an increased risk for developing skin cancer, Tarduno explained. Read More

[21st Century Radio] by Dr. Bob HieronimusThe purpose of this communication is to inform you briefly on the
upcoming astrological event, Uranus Square Pluto, hitting exact on March 17, 2015.
On this date and several days before and after that we suggest you and
your loved ones keep your eyes and ears open and spend the maximum time
you can in a safe and secure place.
Many astrologers consider this transit of Uranus Square Pluto as one
of the most significant and challenging planetary influences for a
generation. Some will say that war and natural disasters are almost a
given. Others will point to the rise in dictatorships, ruthless
international corporations, rigid theocracies and citizen protests that
sprang up in our recent past when Uranus was Square Pluto, as in 1930s
and 1960s.
You may laugh at astrology, but we've never met a person who has
seriously studied astrology who didn't benefit from it. Here's a short
course: Uranus represents CHANGE. It usually heralds times of invention,
revolution and higher awareness. When it is in a square position
(conflicted) with Pluto you get even bigger change. Pluto represents
globalization, destruction, transformation and renewal. Both planets
represent change!
In 1969 Dr. Bob completed his first mural for Johns Hopkins
University called "The Apocalypse". It is 2,700 square feet and covers a
large room and stairwell and two ceilings. It was not about the end of
the planet, but vast CHANGES. At that time he foresaw changes in our
climate brought about by humans who value the almighty dollar and gold
above all else, including human life and the corporate powers behind our
nation's decline. Maryland Public Television documented this and other
murals he completed in a special called "The Artist of Savitria" that
aired on PBS in the early 70s.
We see the events transpiring in 2015 reflected in this mural's story
told 45 years ago – we are now facing near complete corporate
domination and climactically great change!
It's most difficult to mark a passage when we are still living inside
of it, but we wonder if in the future we will look back on this time
period and see it as an onslaught of violence, terrorism, climate
change, market collapse, ruthless international corporations, fear of
nuclear war, rising anti-Semitism and extreme fundamentalism. It's
easier to see historical shifts related to Uranus Square Pluto when they
are in the past. From 1932-1934 Uranus was Square Pluto and we
experienced a Great Depression, political and social upheaval, and the
rise of dictators and extremism. By January 1933 Adolf Hitler had
cemented his power.
In a more recent Uranus conjunct Pluto (like all planetary pair
cycles, the Uranus-Pluto cycle begins at the conjunction) from
1963-1969, America experienced an upswelling of flower power, people who
wanted to make love and not war, who were rebelling against their
parents, authority and the establishment. Later these peace movements
were infiltrated by others whose use of violence led to civil discord
and the 1968 riots at Chicago's Democratic Convention and marches on the
Pentagon. Read More

Read on after this article to learn how the Polar Vortex and warming could be related. - Lori
[USA Today] This winter's unexpected brutal snowstorms and deep freeze across the
country caught us unprepared. Major disruptions and economic losses
have been widespread, along with office and schools closings and flight
and train cancellations. Under pressure, the head of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority stepped down last month because the 100-year-old system could not handle the severe weather.Don't
blame the weather. Parts of our country are simply ill-prepared for
anything that deviates from normal operations. And these weather
conditions don't even begin to tip the scale when compared with the
havoc caused by much more devastating disasters that could happen
tomorrow.One can only imagine how the country will cope if California is hit by a long-overdue high-magnitude earthquake. Today, 90% of its residents do not have
earthquake insurance and aging infrastructure is likely to fail,
causing paralysis for weeks and extreme economic losses. But rather than
moving to action mode now, many prefer to bury their heads. Read MoreHow do the Polar Vortex and Warming Relate? [Discovery] Temperatures are set to drop to levels that are low even for the middle of winter
across the eastern U.S. starting Thursday and again over the weekend as
Arctic air makes repeated surges southward. Temperatures Sunday morning
could be below freezing as far south as Florida. This pattern may sound familiar to those in the eastern U.S.
who shivered under repeated such incursions last winter, when the term “polar vortex”
became all the rage. The non-stop sucker punches of frigid air also
brought to the forefront the idea that global warming could
paradoxically be behind them, with Arctic sea ice melt forcing wild dives in the jet stream up in the atmosphere. But it’s a hotly debated idea
that has spurred a flurry of research, some of which bolsters the
connection but still leaves key questions unanswered and many
atmospheric scientists skeptical. Read More

[NPR] When Charles Darwin first taught us how to think about evolution, he
also was teaching us to think about time. By allowing natural selection
to work over millions of years, what might seem like a divine miracle
(the creation of a new kind of animal) became something much more
grounded (though equally wondrous).
But what if evolutionary
change could operate much faster? What if evolution could dance to the
same beat as something like ecology — the interaction of life with
changing environments? This idea of "eco-evolutionary dynamics" is a
relatively new one that, on its own, is stunning enough. But include the
possibility of rapid, evolutionary change a la the Anthropocene — the
brave new human-dominated world we're creating — and things can get
really interesting.
Eco-evolutionary dynamics in a rapidly urbanizing world is the subject of a new paper
by Marina Alberti, a professor at the University of Washington's
College of the Built Environment. I first met Alberti a couple of years
ago, as my own research into "the physics of cities" began. What is
fascinating about her Urban Ecology Research Lab
is the breadth of its efforts — and I've been happy to learn and
collaborate with them. As an astrophysicist, what intrigues me about the
new paper is that its perspective takes rapid urbanization as not just a
social phenomena, but also as a planetary one.
Over the past
decade or so, Alberti argues, scientists have recognized that changes in
ecosystems can drive changes in evolution, such as the emergence of new
species' traits. And as these traits rapidly evolve, novel ecosystem functions
will appear as well. As Alberti puts it: "There is significant evidence
that changes in ecological conditions drive evolutionary change in
species traits that, in turn, alters ecological interactions." Read More

[LA Times] El Niño is here, but don't expect the Pacific Ocean circulation
phenomenon to do much for the drought afflicting California and the
western U.S., forecasters said Thursday.
"Unfortunately, this El Niño is likely too little, too late and too
weak to provide much relief for drought-stricken California, as
California’s rainy season is winding down," said Mike Halpert, deputy
director of the Climate Prediction Center at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Halpert's
comments came as NOAA, which runs the National Weather Service,
announced that it had detected a weak "El Niño" phase to the cyclical
oscillation of sea water temperature and atmospheric pressure in the
tropical Pacific.
In previous years, El Niño has ferried more moisture toward Southern
California, although the extent of its influence on regional weather has
been debated.
Although Pacific Coast residents saw more storms in December and
January, Halpert noted, most of these were not cold enough to contribute
substantially to the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada and other western
ranges -- the most critical element of long-term water supply.
"This
past year, December was very wet, but it was also very warm," Halpert
said. "So the snow levels were very high and it really didn’t help." At
this point, it might be time to “pack up the skis and hope for a better
season next year," Halpert said.
The agency said there was a 50%-60% chance that El Niño would persist into the summer. Read More
